I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
What I like most about CTRL + Backspace is that it works all over the place -- from Word to Google Docs. In theory my mum could use it (if she could be bothered).

On the Mac I use for work, in iTerm it deletes the previous letter, same as ^H. In this textarea I'm using to type this reply it does... nothing.
That's partially just down to it the oddities of MacOS - a lot of keyboard shortcuts are weird on Mac, like ctrl/alt left and right arrow, or ctrl-R or alt-dot. You have to go through a process of setting it up on a new machine, because most of these are broken out the box.

Psst. Have you tried vim?
Ha! Not for a loooong time. Maybe I'm ready.

Ah, I'm not a Mac user, so that's good to know. According to @achu it's ⌘ + Delete on a Mac.
Yeah, that does nothing on mine either :)
Oh dear. This might be why I failed to change the world.
on MacOS its OPTION + DELETE
As I mentioned, that does nothing on my Mac.
